This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Dear List This is a real eye opener for me because personally I cannot believe = that anyone would even consider removing grand legs with the lyre still = attached. Having spent all my working life moving pianos, here's how we = do it: Fix the lid prop down with small piece of masking tape or = white-tac (depending on the finish) to prevent it swinging during = transit, and lock up the lid. Cover the piano up well, either with = remover's covers or padded piano jacket. Fit the skid onto the long = side and ratchet up. We use a car jack fixed to a stand these days, so = that goes under the left cheek block. Jack left side up and remove lyre. = Remove left leg and drop down onto the skid. Take off the remaining two = legs, and you're away! I would concede that using the jacking method = means you don't have to take the lyre off first, because the piano is = supported well. But if I was supporting the piano only by hand, the = lyre would be nowhere in sight. Mind yer toes now........
